Eventually you will cut off his arms by performing a QTE. He will simply grow it back and at times he will kneel on the ground after a big attack. This is your opportunity to go in and strike him, which will trigger the QTE you need. After you have done enough damage, he will begin levitating into the air and summoning the abomination creatures against you. Defeat this and fill your ultimate attack up and then execute it with and . Ryu will leap into the air and slice through Cliff. Repeat this process until you have defeated him. Enjoy the cutscene that follows.

Reagent of the Mask - Theodore Final Battle
Near the end of Day Eight, you will reach upon Goddess Canna with the assistance of Theodore, the Reagent of the Mask. However he wants one last battle with you since he is her father and can't allow you to hurt her. Ultimately, he wants to die and atonement for all the trouble he has caused since being revived and to successfully remove the curse from Ryu.

The battle with the Alchemist will play as the previous ones have, except he will be quicker and pull out all the stops this time around so you will need to be quick on your toes to defeat him the final time. Defeat him here and you will achieve this trophy and be capable of stopping the Goddess Canna!

You will achieve the trophy after defeating the Reagent of the Mask, but to complete the game and the final boss, refer to the next section
Final Battle Goddess Canna
During this battle, you will need to successfully complete a few QTEs in the beginning, which you will remember from the opening segment of the game. Complete each of these and you will end up eventually on top of a building where she is smashing down on. Keep attacking her hand and completing the QTE on her head to defeat her. Watch the floor of the roof as once it starts cracking, she is about to slam it and you will need to move over to the right side. This will able again as you do more damage to her, except now you need to evade to the left side of the roof.

During the finally moments of the game, you will be thrown numerous creatures to fight and have to build up your ninpo. Once you have, activate it on the Goddess and complete the final QTE here to ultimately defeat her.

Steel on BoneCut down 100 enemies with Steel on Bone attacks.

You will acquire this trophy as you normally play through the game. Simply kill your enemies and chain combos together and Ryu Hyabusa will automatically attack and slow motion slash through an enemy, demonstrating a steel on bone attack. These will occur automatically as you play so you won't even need to get this trophy.

InitiationPlay a Clan Battle.

TeamworkWin 10 team battles.

Simply successfully win 10 team battles through online play on the game and you will achieve this trophy. To do this you're gong to have to win 10 separate clan battles, you should get this with little trouble however if you're finding it hard you can always boost it in private.

One Against the World Win a battle royale match.

Self explanatory, win a battle royale match. Play clan battle and sometimes towards the end of the match a battle royale will randomly trigger, simply get the most kills and once the time runs out you will win the battle royale match. If you find it hard to do in a random match you can always boost it in private.

ShadyPerform a betrayal.

Perform a betrayal, in order to perform a betrayal you must play clan battle and get the contract. The contract is given to you randomly and you are asked to kill a teammate so you can switch teams. Once you get the contract, go over to the player you must kill and press, + After you perform a betrayal you should get the trophy.

This trophy was a pain for me and most people, I didn't get the contract until I was at level 99 but by then we figured a way how to boost it.

Boosting method:
Play a private match, set it up as 2 VS 2 and try and complete every contract you get and it should appear eventually. It took me about four matches to boost and I finally got the contract.

An Honorable DeathPerform harakiri.

You won't be able to do this until you are level 26. Performing a harakiri is basically killing yourself when your health is low to stop you enemy from killing you. In clan battle, get your health really low and then hold to perform a harakiri.

You'll know when you can perform a harakiri because it will tell you on the screen and because you can't walk or fight very fast.

VeteranClear 10 Mentor Trials.

Clear ten mentor trials, there are ten to start off with but each dlc adds five more so that is ten out of twenty mentor trials. These trials are slightly harder than the acolyte trials, but you should be able to do them by yourself. There are two DLC packs available.

PrestigeClear 5 Leader Trials.

Clear five leader trials, there are five to start off with but each dlc adds five more so that is five out of fifteen leader trials. These trials are slightly harder than the mentor trials and can be done by yourself, but if you are finding it hard you should ask a friend to join you. There are two DLC packs available.

OverlordClear 5 Master Ninja Trials.

Clear 5 master trials, there are five to start off with but each dlc adds five more so that is five out of fifteen master trials. These are harder than the leader trials and can be done be yourself if you are really good, however I recommend you do these with a friend. Also, by now you should have your main weapon at level 10, which is max level, making sure you have learned all of the skills. There are two DLC packs available.

Master 02 and 05 is easier with the Scythe, and 04 is best to be done with the Claws.

Ultimate NinjaClear 3 Ultimate Ninja Trials.

Clear 3 ultimate trials, there are three to start off with but the dlc gives an extra two trials so that is three out of five ultimate trials. These are the hardest trials to complete in the game and you should only attempt these with a friend and have your weapons at max level.

Ultimate01 is the hardest out of the three and is best to be done with the sword, you need to kill the fourth and fifth Genshin at the same time because as soon as the fourth Genshin dies, two Fiend Genshin will drop down and then it will make the trial a lot harder to beat. It takes five Izuna Drops to kill Genshin, so you must perfect this otherwise there is no point in trying to proceed.

Ultimate 02 is the second hardest and the best weapon would be the claws. Make sure you know how to defeat each enemy on this level and don't waste your time to finish the enemy off, especially on the first wave... use this time to kill another enemy before others spawn, that is the key to this trial. Killing off a dying enemy will just make the others spawn faster, and unless you know what you're doing it will be too much to handle. On the last wave, make sure you or your friend walks the two bosses while the other kills the alchemists, then once you have both of you can fight the two bosses although it is best if one of you continues to walk one boss until the other boss has been killed.

Ultimate 03 is the easiest, and for me was the most enjoyable too. You can use any weapon but the Scythe make it fun to do. Just hold block and then perform a Izuna Drop anytime you can. For the last wave there will be three Fiend Ryu to take on. One of you must walk two and the other kills one boss, and then you can both take down the last two. Take advantage of the wall, run up it then jump and press triangle once they attempt to do an ultimate attack or a ninpo to evade.

Master of the KatanaRaise the katana to level 10.

Raise the Katana to level 10, which is the max level. It doesn't take long to level it up and you can do so by playing clan battle and the ninja trials, once you get the Katana at level 10 it will become the Dragon Sword.

You can boost this trophy by yourself or in private doing the trials, you should use this time to learn how to fight and get some experience in trial mode.

Here are a list of skills you will learn as you level up your Katana, credit to Platmatika412

Hayabusa Style Grand MasterReach level 50.

Reaching level 50 isn't as time consuming as you think if you plan on going for the platinum. You gain experience by playing clan battles or trial mode. Simply keep playing these modes until you reach level 50.

Dark Ninja Armor and Headgear (VERY closely resembles Genshin's Mask, it just looks... softer and has the same 3 blades on the forearm and an eyepatch for authenticity!) - Clear three Ultimate Ninja Trials (WHAT!?).

Hanya Headgear (No Armor) - Clear five Leader Ninja Trials.

Hyottoko Headgear (Hard to describe, kind of like a surprised old lady with her lips perked off to the side, weird.) - Clear one Master NInja Trial.

Magojiro Headgear (No Armor. Another hard to describe one. I don`t even know I would describe this one actually) - Clear three Master Ninja Trials.

Walking DictionaryGet 100 kanji.

A Kanji is a system of Japanese writing using Chinese characters and you can earn these symbols by completing a trial, online or offline, and by completing a clan battle. You might get two at once but no matter what you will always get one by completing a clan battle or a trial. You don't have to worry about getting this trophy, you should get it eventually.
